Several Finished Objects

Finally my camera has been repaired and I can report on several finished objects. First up is Truck Mittens for Niepa. I used some leftover Baby Cashmerino yarn. The pattern is Vroom-vroom mittens available on Ravelry.

Next are mittens for Ella, the daughter of one of my yoga teachers. They are Baby Cashmerino also, and I used my basic mitten pattern, available here.

The Bohus Stickening Cuffs are from a class I took at Stitches Midwest. The technique involves a very fine yarn with colorwork. Unlike fair isle, there is purling. Also, the floats can be considerably longer than with fair isle work. The result is pretty, but I don't have the patience to do this on a larger project. I received the yarn and pattern in a kit during the class.

My last project is Petrie, done in a linen yarn. I'm very pleased with how this turned out. Unfortunately it will be too cold to wear a sleeveless linen top in Michigan until about next June.
